Long Beach can suspend or revoke a short-term rental registration after repeated verified violations, applying a strike system tied to noise, occupancy, parking, and nuisance complaints documented under LBMC Chapter 5.65.
Hosts accumulate strikes when officers verify violations of STR rules, including over-occupancy, unpermitted events, repeated noise, or trash and parking nuisances. Multiple verified strikes within a rolling twelve-month period can trigger administrative permit suspension, mandatory operator training, or full revocation barring re-registration for a defined cooling-off period. The Financial Management Department issues notices, and hosts may appeal through the city's administrative hearing process. Listings must be removed from booking platforms once a registration is revoked, and continued operation becomes unpermitted activity.
Operating after revocation, or accruing repeated verified strikes, may trigger escalating administrative penalties, listing takedown demands sent to platforms, and permanent bans from re-registering at the property.
